Tal estudo, que está vinculado à linha de pesquisa “Processos formativos, ensino e aprendizagem” e ao Centro de Estudos em Leitura e Literatura Infantil e Juvenil (CELLIJ), é decorrente da inquietação e preocupação da pesquisadora quanto à maneira como os alunos compreendem suas leituras. Por isso, teve como principal objetivo analisar os contos de fadas sugeridos pelas crianças de um 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental e as relações entre paratextos, texto verbal, não verbal e estratégias de leitura. Assim, analisam-se três versões do conto de fadas Chapeuzinho Vermelho: Chapeuzinho Vermelho, na versão de Perrault, o que chamamos de clássico, Chapeuzinho Vermelho – uma aventura borbulhante, identificada como reconto, e Chapeuzinho Vermelho em uma versão resumida, a qual nomeamos de simplificado. Nesse sentido, os objetivos específicos foram: averiguar como os procedimentos para a escolha do livro implicam na compreensão; analisar se e como o texto verbal permite amplo envolvimento do leitor; verificar a função do texto não verbal nos títulos examinados e, por fim, verificar se e como os contos de fadas escolhidos possibilitam relações com estratégias de leitura. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma escola municipal de Presidente Prudente. Os procedimentos metodológicos ocorreram em dois momentos: no primeiro, utilizou-se como instrumento um questionário para conhecer o perfil e o interesse leitor em relação aos contos de fadas, quando se percebeu que os alunos se interessam pela leitura do gênero, porém, muitos desconhecem a estrutura do texto narrativo; ademais, praticam algum tipo de estratégia em suas leituras, mas não têm consciência disso. O segundo momento foi realizado a partir de uma roda de conversa, que buscou saber a forma de acesso dos discentes aos livros (em casa, na sala de leitura, na sala de aula ou em todos ou mais de um desses locais), além da confirmação dos discentes sobre o conto de fadas preferido. Com base nesses pontos, foi delimitado um corpus de análise, cujas obras foram analisadas levando-se em consideração os seguintes eixos temáticos: paratextos, texto não verbal, texto verbal e estratégias de leitura. Os resultados levaram a crer que as versões do conto clássico e o reconto oferecem maiores e melhores condições para que os alunos compreendam o texto e se motivem para lê-lo. Por outro lado, a versão simplificada não tem qualidade estética e depende de um planejamento do professor para que possa ser utilizada com ressalvas. Nesse sentido, reafirma-se a importância de os profissionais da educação conhecerem diferentes aspectos sobre o livro e sobre as estratégias de compreensão leitora, a fim de ensinar seus alunos a ler todas as partes do livro e se tornar críticos e autônomos. / This study demonstrates the results of the research “Several Little Red Riding Hood: tales and retellings from the preferences of a fourth year of elementary school”, developed by the Graduate Program – Master’s in education – from the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, FCT – UNESP, in Presidente Prudente. This study, that is linked to the research line “Formative processes, teaching and learning” and to the Centro de Estudos em Leitura e Literatura Infantil e Juvenil (CELLIJ), resulting from the researcher’s uneasiness and concern in relation to the way the students understand their reading. Therefore, it aimed to analyze fairy tales suggested by fourth-grade children and the relationship between paratext, verbal text, non-verbal text and reading strategies. Thus, the fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” is analysed in three versions: “Little Red Riding Hood”, in Perrault’s version, that we name classic, “Little Red Riding Hood – A Bubbly Adventure”, that we name retelling and “Little Red Riding Hood” in an abbreviated version that we name simplified. In this sense, the specific objetives were: to ascertain how the procedures to choose the book implicate in the comprehension, to analyse if and how the verbal text permits the reader’s extensive involvement, to verify the non-verbal text function in the analysed titles and, finally, to ascertain if and how the chosen fairy tales allow relationship with the reading strategies. For this purpose, the research was developed in a municipally-run public school in Presidente Prudente. The methodological procedures occurred in two moments: first, it was used as instrument a questionnaire to know the reader’s profile and interest in relation to the fairy tales. It was noticed that the students are interested in reading this genre, however, many do not know the structure of narrative text; they practice some kind of strategy in their reading, but they do not have awareness about it. In a second moment, a conversation circle was done to ascertain the form of access of the students to the books (in their house, in reading rooms, in classrooms, in all these places or more than one of them), besides the student’s confirmation about their favorite fairy tale. From this, an analysis corpus was delimited, which titles were analyzed taking into account the following thematic axes: paratexts, verbal text, nonverbal text and reading strategies. The results led us to believe that the classic tale and the retelling versions offer major and better conditions for the students understand the text and motivate theirselves to read them. On the other hand, there is no aesthetic quality in the simplified version and it depends on the teacher´s planning to be used meticulously. In this regard, the importance of the education professionals knowing the aspects about the book and about the reading strategies is reaffirmed, in order to teach the students to read all the parts of the book and to become critics and autonomous.

O estudo constou de 20 indivíduos divididos em dois grupos (A e B), o grupo A realizou tratamento convencional e o grupo B, tratamento convencional e Hipoterapia, durante 16 semanas. Os pacientes foram avaliados pela Escala Modificada de Aswhorth, Escala de Fugl-Meyer, Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg, Escala de Deambulação Funcional, a Cadência e o Questionário genérico de Qualidade de Vida -SF36, no início e no final do tratamento. Nos resultados melhoras significativas foram observadas no grupo experimental incluindo melhora do tônus apenas dos flexores plantares (p=0,0268), comprometimento motor em membros inferiores (p= 0,004), o equilíbrio, em relação ao tempo (p= 0,007) e a independência na marcha apresentou uma tendência à significância (p = 0.0519). A cadência e a velocidade não apresentaram relevância estatística em ambos os grupos (p = 0,69 e 0,44). Em relação à qualidade de vida, no total da pontuação da escala, houve significância entre os grupos. O experimental melhorou significativamente (p=0,007), já o controle não (p-valor= 0,80). Nos itens Capacidade Funcional, Aspectos Físicos e Saúde Mental houve diferença entre os grupos (p= 0,0273; 0,0156 e 0,0410). No grupo experimental houve melhora significativa nos Aspectos Físicos (p= 0,0019), no item Saúde Mental houve uma tendência a significância (p=0,0619) e na Capacidade Funcional não existiu melhora (p= 0,08). No controle não houve melhora significativa na Capacidade Funcional (p= 0,1828) e nos Aspectos Físicos e Saúde Mental houve piora, porém sem significância (p= 0,3078 e 0,4297). Os domínios, Dor, Estado Geral de Saúde, Vitalidade, Aspectos Sociais e Limitação por Aspecto Emocional não apresentaram melhoras significativas. Com os achados no estudo conclui-se, que a Hipoterapia associada à fisioterapia convencional mostrou ser um bom recurso para a melhora da marcha e da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos hemiparéticos / Abstract: the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of Hippotherapy in gait training in post-stroke hemiparetic individuals. The study consisted of 20 individuals divided into two groups (A and B). Group A performed a conventional treatment, and group B a conventional treatment along with Hippotherapy, during 16 weeks. The patients were evaluated by the Modified Scale of Aswhorth, Fugl-Meyer Scale, only the lower limbs and balance sub items, Balance Scale of Berg, Functional Ambulation Category Scale, Cadence and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey - SF-36, in the beginning and end of treatment. In the results, significant improvements were observed in the experimental group including spasticity improvement, only in the plantar flexors (p=0,0268), motor impairment in lower limbs (p = 0.004), balance, over time (p = 0.007), the gait independence showed a significant trend over time (p = 0.0519). The cadence and speed were not significantly in both groups (p = 0.69 and 0.44). As to life quality, there was significance between groups in scale score total. The experimental group improved significantly (p=0.007), yet the control group not (p= 0.80). In the Functional Capacity, Physical Aspects and Mental Health item there was a difference between the groups (p= 0.0273; 0.0156 e 0.0410). In the experimental group there was a significant improvement in Physical Aspects (p= 0.0019), the Mental Health item showed a significant trend (p=0.0619) and Functional Capacity did not present significant improvements (p= 0.08). In the control group the Functional Capacity item did not show significant improvements (p= 0.1828) and Physical Aspects and Mental Health items presented worsening, but not significant (p= 0.3078 e 0.4297). The domains Pain, General Health State, Vitality, Social Aspects and Limitation by Emotional Aspect did not present significant improvements. With the findings of this study, it is possible to conclude that Hippotherapy associated to conventional physical therapy proved to be a good resource to improve gait and the quality of life of hemiparetic individuals / Mestrado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Ciências Médicas

The aim of this study was to determine executive function outcomes after an equi-therapy intervention in a group of Tourette syndrome children. Equi-therapy is a new form of therapeutic horse riding, which is related to the stimulation of the vestibular system through sensory integration in the brain. For this study a non-equivalent control group design was implemented. The study consisted of 8 Tourette syndrome children aged between 9 and 15, who were referred after a definite Tourette syndrome diagnosis from various neurologists and paediatricians. Both groups were evaluated on a battery of 6 neuropsychological tests measuring various aspects of executive function before and after receiving the therapeutic horse riding intervention. The tests used were the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Stroop Colour Word Test, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, the Trail Making Test A and B, the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices and the Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Qualitative inputs were also included in the study. These consisted of behavioural checklists completed by the participants’ parents, the evaluation of the participants’ copy drawings as ’frontal’ or ’normal’ obtained from the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test, and results of tests that were administered by an occupational therapist as part of the required evaluation for the therapeutic horse riding (equi-therapy) itself. Results of the neuropsychological tests indicated significant differences for the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Stroop Colour Word Test and the Symbol Digit Modalities Test, indicating improvements in selective attention, cognitive flexibility, visualspatial constructional ability, visuomotor integration, visual memory and organisational strategies. The qualitative results indicted improvements in emotional and behavioural aspects. Executive abilities are a very complex system and evaluation should always include robust and sensitive neuropsychological tests. It seems as if Tourette syndrome could be directly related to executive dysfunction, but not in a simple manner as aspects may vary due to other more complex factors that may contribute to these dysfunctions. However, for equi-therapy as an alternative form of therapy, the opportunity should not be lost to establish its efficacy because of the possible beneficial outcome. / Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Psychology / unrestricted

This thesis focus on the free rider problem, well known in the field of economics. It is an unwanted situation that gives rise to unnecessary deadweight costs. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the free rider problem that occur when rent include housing utilities and especially when electricity is billed collectively. A Difference-in-Differences design has been applied on two different sets of panel data covering tenants electricity consumption. The results show that tenants use 21.3 percent more electricity when not paying directly for their own electricity consumption. This thesis also shed some light on different components of this problem. The findings in this thesis contributes to the limited research in this field with new empirical evidence.

Creating and writing fairy tales is a literary exercise that was introduced in the salons of the XVII century. Madame d'Aulnoy and Charles Perrault began to write the fairy tales that became fashionable at the court of King Louis XIV. Despite the simplicity of their narrative patterns, the tales carry messages that affect all readers. First addressed to adults, fairy tales dealt with anxieties, fears and desires of the human being. Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most famous tales in the world. Universally loved, this cautionary tale has experienced much evolution through the centuries. There are some differences between the very bloody oral version and the version of Perrault. A century later, the version of the two German brothers, the brothers Grimm, became the best-known version. But the story’s main rudiments have not changed: the little girl, the wolf, the mother, the grandmother and the forest, these elements have not ceased to inspire the authors up to the present day. Today the rewriting of fairy tales has become an art in its own right. If we look at the market of youth literature, we will find hundreds of tales rewritten and modernized. Writers take advantage of the popularity of these tales that fascinate adults as well as children. Little Red Riding Hood has turned into a story about a little girl with a Little Hood of all colors: navy blue or green. Among a long list of rewritten tales we have chosen to study five. The first tale is taken from the collection entitled Contes à l'envers by Dumas and Moissard: Le Petit Chaperon bleu marine (Little Navy Blue Riding Hood) This tale written in 2009 represents a clear illustration of the transfigured tale. The other four tales we have chosen are written by Geoffroy de Pennart. Through the study of these tales, we shall see how the character of the wolf has changed from the wretched wolf of Perrault. Le loup est revenue (The Wolf Has Returned) published in 1994 presents all the animals of the traditional tales that are afraid of the return of the wolf. Le loup sentimental (The Sentimental Wolf) released in 1998, features several famous characters from the classical tales and creates unexpected links between all these characters. The third tale is Chapeau rond rouge (Red Round Hat) published in 2004; this tale is a parody of the classic tale. Finally Le retour de Chapeau rond rouge (The Return of Red Round Hat) released in 2011 is a contemporary tale that refers to three previous tales: The Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Red Round Hat. Through the reading of these five modern tales we can follow the course of the evolution of the tale. This study examines the evolution of the classic tale, its rewriting and intertextual correlations in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. By analyzing adapted and rewritten modern tales, this research attempts to demonstrate that a rewritten tale is read only in light of the knowledge of the original tale. Inverted, transfigured or mixed, these tales offer the reader a great pleasure. The audience enjoys reading these texts full of humor and references winks compared to the classic tale. The role of heroes is often reversed in modern tales and morality does not remain the same. Thanks to this reading of the second degree of the rewritten tale, children discover and deepen their gaze in regards to the modern world.

The goal of the diploma thesis is to evaluate the possibilities of a new land use between the southern part of the housing area Kamechy and the northern part of Žebětín. The area is divided into southern and northern part by a distinct terrain fault and the bed of the stream Vrbovec. The northern part is closely connected to the housing area Kamechy. In the central plain of the southern part is located a brownfield area of former agricultural cooperative. The new urban design creates a nice recreational zone near the town which is focused on horse riding. There will be created new park and sport areas and that will ensure that the urban space will be also used by wide public.

The thesis deals with the ways of utilization of the former collective farm and its surroundings in the town district of Brno-Žebětín. The site is quite vast featuring big altitude differences and is located in a densely populated area. That is the reason the project solely supposes the development of leisure time activities which will complete the inhabited areas, thus creating a zone for sports and relaxation, which will offer various opportunities for spending free time to all age groups. The incorporation of the whole area into the active public life and its accessibility to the public is the final outcome of the project. The basic idea is the extension of the current equestrian centre as well as introducing new leisure time activities to the area. From the city planning point of view, the area is divided into the central part attached to the equestrian centre, a part for sports and relaxation located in the south-east part of the area, moreover, there is a part for outdoor activities and relaxation, as well as housing areas in the northern part, and last but not least sites meant for paddocks. An important element is the Vrbovec Stream crossing the area. In the vicinity of the stream, a zone of greenery follows. Being another important element of the area, the current zone of greenery will be enriched with newly planted leafy trees and wind breaking alleys of poplars.
